Kobe Playgrounds

Public playgrounds are really not that common in the states. We have them here and there usually in more suburban areas and they are largely unused and under-maintained. In comparison Kobe is practically overrun with playgrounds of various shapes sizes and even themes. The parks vary from pocket size to sprawling kiddy urban oasis nearly a block wide and every other block has one of these playgrounds. Todays photographic collage is a study of those concussion inducing spring loaded contraptions some apparently call toys. Oh, for the record no kids out today as the parks are soggy and cold from the heavy rains we are still getting pelted with, but usually these parks are well used.
